"Growing to Greenness:"
Don't Forget to Recycle!
The Village's Sustainability Commission reminds you to protect the environment this summer by following these safety tips:

  • Plastic grocery bags should not be placed in the curbside toter. Recycle them at any retailer that accepts them, such as a grocery store.
  • Groot accepts all plastic containers that are numbered 1 through 7. Caps can be left on the containers.
  • Only food and beverage jars (clear, green, brown) can be recycled. Other glass products, such as ceramic cups and plates, light bulbs, window glass or mirrors, cannot be recycled.
  • Other recycling opportunities are available at the Village Hall, including programs for recycling batteries, fluorescent light bulbs, small electronics and printer cartridges.
